Help Helen say goodbye to her twin sister
Help Helen say goodbye to her twin sister Imagine receiving news that your twin has been diagnosed with terminal cancer in New Zealand while you are living in Zululand. This is the reality for one Zululander, Helen 'Pug' Prinsloo, who has not seen her twin sister for 11 years. Known as the cat whisperer by her Richards Bay SPCA colleagues – who describe her as selfless, gentle and hardworking – Helen has helped countless animals. Using its platform to raise R200 000 for her trip to say goodbye, the organisation expressed in an emotional Facebook post, 'Her twin sister, who lives in New Zealand, is the only family she has left in this world. They haven't seen each other in 11 years — not because they didn't want to, but because life and circumstances made it impossible. 'Helen became deaf as a young child and was unable to emigrate with her family. She stayed behind in South Africa with nothing but her quiet strength, her deep love for animals, and her sister's voice in her heart.' With oncologists predicting her sister has only about four months left to live due to her aggressive cancer, Helen cannot imagine not saying goodbye to the person she shared her first breath with. Feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders, she relies solely on her modest non-profit salary that barely covers her necessities, she has no family in South Africa, no savings, and besides her colleagues, no support. While R200 000 is a considerable sum, donations will contribute towards applying for emergency travel documents, a visa, and return airfare.

Mandela Month food drive to support hungry children in north Durban
WITH food insecurity in Amaoti reaching alarming levels, a local NPO is calling on the community to help ensure no child goes hungry this Mandela Day. Lungisani Indlela, a north Durban-based NPO that works closely with vulnerable families in Amaoti, has launched a food drive for Mandela Month, aiming to collect non-perishable food items to distribute to struggling households. Also read: Umhlanga Ski Boat Club brings early Christmas cheer 'Food security has always been a problem in Amaoti, but in the last few months the situation has worsened,' said Faye Curtis of Lungisani Indlela. 'We've heard heartbreaking cases of children putting themselves in danger just to find something to eat. Recently, a young girl fell out of a tree and broke her arm while searching for berries. That's the level of desperation we are seeing.' The organisation is appealing to the public to donate essential food items such as tinned food, mielie meal, rice, and long-life milk, which have a longer shelf life and do not require refrigeration. Donations can be dropped off at the Lungisani Indlela office in Phoenix, Harvest Church in Somerset Park, or Claire's Thrifting in Durban North. 'People can also sponsor a child in our Learner Support Programme for just R200 per month, volunteer at our weekly literacy programme on Wednesday afternoons, or help prepare sandwiches for our daily aftercare,' she said. 'You can even support us by making Lungisani Indlela a beneficiary on your MySchool or Woolworths card.' Curtis said Mandela Day is an important reminder to act in service of those who are suffering year-round. 'As Mandela said, 'Freedom is meaningless if people cannot put food in their stomachs.' This month is an opportunity for us all to make a tangible difference in our communities.' For more information or to get involved, contact Lungisani Indlela at 031 505 8811 or email [email protected]. For more from Northglen News, follow us on Facebook , X or Instagram.
